What are condensation nuclei?

At the very small scale, water molecules are constantly escaping from the droplets into the atmosphere (evaporating) or moving from the atmosphere into the droplet (condensing).

What are condensation nuclei. Condensation is the process by which water vapour in the air is changed into liquid water. Condensation nucleus tiny suspended particle either solid or liquid upon which water vapour condensation begins in the atmosphere. Cloud condensation nuclei, also known as cloud seeds, are small particles typically 0.2 µm, or 1/100 the size of a cloud droplet on which water vapor condenses.

Cloud condensation nuclei (ccn) plural noun microscopic bits of clay, salt, or solid pollutant around which water vapor condenses in clouds to form raindrops. Condensation nucleus, tiny suspended particle, either solid or liquid, upon which water vapour condensation begins in the atmosphere. In other words, the water in the air, a gas known as water vapour.

Usually, condensation occurs on a foreign surface; Dust volcanoes factory smoke forest fires ocean salt sulfate particles from phytoplankton in ocean they are most abundant in lower. The most common types of condensation nuclei are crystals of salt, particulate matter formed by the combustion of fossil fuels, and dust.

Small particles in air created from/by: Cloud condensation nuclei small aerosols that serve as the sites upon which water vapor condenses in the atmosphere. Its diameter may range from a few microns to a few.

Cloud condensation nuclei or ccn s (also known as cloud seeds) are small particles (typically 0.0002 mm, or 1/100 th the size of a cloud droplet [1]) about which cloud droplets coalesce. Condensation nuclei are particles that are released into the atmosphere to allow condensation to occur. Condensation nucleus tiny suspended particle either solid or liquid upon which water vapour condensation begins in the atmosphere.

Cloud condensation nuclei (abbreviated ccn.) hygroscopic aerosol particles that can serve as nuclei of atmospheric cloud droplets, that is, particles on which water condenses (activates) at. Cloud condensation nuclei, also known as cloud seeds, are small particles typically 0.2 µm, or 1/100 the size of a cloud droplet on which water vapor condenses. Condensation is a process by which water vapour changes from gaseous state to liquid state.
